I purposely use up every last thing in my pantry and freezer at the end of every year, just to be sure nothing goes out of date. So right now I'm lower than usual, but we did refill a lot last week, so we could probably last a month, but it would mean lots of pasta meals, burritos, peanut butter and Ritz crackers.

Southern Ohio's main danger is a chemical spill from a big farm, so I always keep at least ten gallons of water.
 
I keep extra food, particularly kinds that can be eaten without any preparation and are not refrigerated in the event power fails. Then I keep an adequate supply of frozen foods, but I'm not planning to stock up for national emergencies. Will make it through somehow.

After reading your list I would say that water would be my weak spot.

I have enough food and prescriptions to last about a month with electricity and about two weeks without electricity.

Charging my phone and staying connected with the outside world would be a major concern.

The good news is that in 71 years, I’ve never faced a situation that I wasn’t able to muddle through.

I have a few portable recharging banks like this one that happens to be on sale at Amazon today. I used them during long international flights (10+ hours to Europe) to power our laptops.

They'll charge a phone a couple of times and can be recharged in a car. If you plug your phone into it while recharging the battery pack, both the pack and the phone will recharge.

I should add that they hold a charge for a long time, but I plug them in every three months or so to make sure they're fully charged.
